Local Development Framework Consultation

LA1.3 Housing Allocations - R121M-mod KENDAL EAST OF CASTLE GREEN ROAD

No

The DPD is not justified in that it is not founded on a robust and credible evidence base and/or is not considered the most appropriate strategy when considered against the reasonable alternatives.

The DPD is not effective in that the document is not deliverable, flexible or capable of being monitored.

Please find some extra comments I have put together for you to
consider ....... in respect of 'R121' proposed building plot.
After E Petition
" .... A planning inspector will be appointed & will conduct an Independent
Evaluation into the Plans"
• Will this be a desk based Evaluation?
• Will He/She visit the site?
• Will SLDC provide info to the inspector; will a copy of this information be
available to the general public?
• Will the Local Objection Group be able to pass to the inspector relevant
Objective and Objection info to him?
• Could a joint site visit be arranged with yourselves and inspector?
•
• Where will you park all the cars on the narrow Oak Tree Road or Castle
Green Lane?- Castle Green Lane gets a lot of overspill from the Hotel when
there are no spaces on an exceptionally busy day.
• Will Any Person doing a survey know where they should be, and in what
field?
• The map provided by SLDC and used extensively by all, has large dots on a
page, no detail .
•
• SLDC have not used Large Scale OS map coordinates or GPS grid references.
• To make your argument clear everyone should not be relying on black dots
drawn between two points .
•
• It would be helpful to all to have some stakes in the ground, at sensible
intervals, if they can get them into the rock, with numbers on and a good
map and a list of co-ordinates to refer to.
This would make life easy for all.
• Has anyone drawn up outline or detailed plans giving size of properties they
should be building.
• No New build home in this day and age, should have a steep drive, especially
north facing properties, as in Oxenholme or on some parts of Colin Field
estate.
Some health and safety adviser should put their foot down, if not, Insurance
companies should have a say. The amount of ice we get locally, surely
common sense should be used.
• If an access road is built opposite Castle Green Close road end, it will have to
be on the level, as Oak Tree Road end is lethal in the winter.
• Just ask the present residence, oops! You don't seem to talk to them, sorry.
PREPERATION?
• Water tanks for holding excessive amounts of rain water have been
proposed, sunk in the ground within area R56.
• How deep, what capacity in litres, will you get a hole dug deep enough in the
rock- or is that another survey, how much?
• When?, how?, who decides, when to empty it, where will it flow too?
(Suck it out and sell it to 'Thames Water')
VIABILITY?
• The new road ('Sapling Road') to these extra 60 homes will presumably have
each of the main services put under it.
• Each company- Gas, electric, water, sewage, phone- will pay a percentage
of that cost, are they willing knowing that only 60 properties will be at the
other end?
The dwellings on this and any other estates being proposed, should be designed to
such a high standard that every member of the council, planning committee, SLDC
employee etc should be clambering over each other to BUY ONE.
A good test for a property is 'will it resell in ten years?' and they should not be built
if none of the above, would be willing to buy one and live in it for 10 years or more.
